Drupal Upload Progress Bar

The status screen in Drupal has a section on Upload progress.  If this is flagged as not enabled then the upload progress bar is not displayed during file uploads.  To fix this you will need PECL installed.  For Ubuntu

apt-get install php-pear

If you try to use PECL and get a phpize error message then you will also need to install php5-dev:

apt-get install php5-dev

Then enter

pecl install uploadprogress

Then edit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and look for the Dynamic Extensions section. Add

extension=uploadprogress.so

Reload Apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

The Drupal status screen should now show that upload progress is enabled.
